The class by Erich, Segal

Publication: America Bantam Press 1986 . 531 p. 29 Date: 1986

The Class really hit with a reality as an IIMA student. Like the characters in the book (from Harvard), we often believe that once we get placed, life will be sorted. But the book shows that it's just the start. The characters, despite graduating from Harvard, still face personal struggles and tough decisions. There is a stark difference between the success on paper and real life, it is not at all figured out.
